A Winter Soap for Chapped or Rough Hands
January 13th, 2008
Three pounds of common yellow soap; one ounce of camphor dissolved in one ounce of rose and one ounce of lavender water.
Beat three pounds of common yellow soap, and one ounce of camphor dissolved in one ounce of rose and one ounce of lavender water in a mortar until it becomes a paste. Make it into balls to dry, and set it in a cool place for the winter. The best time to make it is in the spring.
